Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

jw-apologetics scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

JW apologetics (verified citations)

Call the MCP tool apologetics(question, language="E", topic_top_k=1, web_top_k=3, use_rag=True).

Source priority of the findings returned (use this for ranking in your synthesis):

  1. topic_index — Watch Tower Publications Index subject. The most authoritative source. If a finding has metadata.source == "topic_index" or "topic_index_entry", surface its citation first.
  2. question_refs — Bible references the user named.
  3. verse_text — actual verse text fetched from wol.jw.org.
  4. study_note — nwtsty commentary mapped to the verse.
  5. cdn_search — articles found via search.
  6. rag — local corpus (if anything is indexed).

How to compose the answer

  1. Open with the JW position — usually derived from a topic_subject or topic_subheading finding. Quote excerpt if non-empty.
  2. Back it with scripture — pull from question_refs / verse_text / study_note findings. Quote the verse text verbatim and cite the citation.url.
  3. Cite jw.org articles — for each cdn_search finding, name the article title (citation.title) and link citation.url.
  4. Never paraphrase doctrine from training data without a backing citation. If no citation exists, say so explicitly.

Boundaries

  • For prep of a specific Watchtower Study, use jw-meeting-prep.
  • For a single verse, use jw-verse-lookup.
  • This skill is for defending and explaining JW positions using authoritative sources. It is not for personal opinion synthesis.

Example

User: "¿Qué dice la Biblia sobre la Trinidad?" → Call apologetics("¿Qué dice la Biblia sobre la Trinidad?", language="S"). → The Trinity subject (185 subheadings, 563 citations) returns first. → Open with the JW position, quote 1Ti 2:5 / Juan 17:3 from the findings, cite ti (Should You Believe in the Trinity?) and recent w articles.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
